The first thing I should say here is that Im not so sure I would feel exactly the same way if it were a black man from any other country but America, but as far as it happening with an black man raised here...I am not ok with it and never will be. Before you freak out, my reasons are not so much for me as my child. Why would I want to encourage a mixed race marriage when I know first hand how they are treated still. (particularly black and white) If you actually believe because we have moved forward with this issue a little since the sixties that it is easy to do now you are living in la-la land. I still see the tention first hand in my own neighborhood. I dont want my kid to go through that. We are still too different, in mindset, in culture, in how we deal with relationships and so many other things. The idea of the whole human race living and breeding amongst each other is a beautiful concept yes, but realistic, not in my lifetime or our childrens really. Can you imagine the pressure on your child should they be the first one to bring another race into your lineage? If you are preaching this idea to your children, you better make sure you know how your whole family feels and will react. You may not feel the need to care but I'd just as soon avoid that myself.
